After a fantastic Father’s Day BBQ, summer has arrived, and it’s time to plan and look forward to the next summertime outing!

July 4th is just days away and Barbeques are extremely popular during summer in New Jersey.  It gives us the chance to get together and enjoy good food with good company, making them particularly perfect for an Independence Day get together.

With a more than 100% increase in searches for vegetarian bbq grill recipes in the past year, it’s important to keep a variety of veggie options at your party. Traditionally heavier on the meat side, we have started to see a shift in foods being grilled at BBQs, since there has been a rise in people opting for vegetarianism.

The experts at Wren Kitchens have revealed the top vegetarian recipes making rounds on TikTok, which will also make a splash during your BBQ party, alongside expert tips.
